Hmm. I'd say subconscious might get you away from immediate danger, but it's often a conscious decision to anticipate future danger based on past events, and this feedback loop is sometimes quite small, such as deciding which path to take while being pursued.

I'm reminded of a meme...

>Giant robot pilot looking smug Caption: I am a genius!

Picture break: >same robot pilot now looking horrified. >Caption: Oh no!

I can tell you right frigging now, the average person is trained through education to build up confidence they know what they are doing, then over the next decade plus face-checked against reality to build an aversion/paranoia matrix.

The modern world is essentially orchestrated by people who build self-sustaining support structures of specialists. We've done a great job at building co-dependent specialists, but a terrible one at building generalists.
